Russian localization for Reasonix Studio 2.47.x–2.53.x (community project)

[itsbuyru-bit]

Hello,

Following the community translation tool shared in Reasonix-Translate (#13390), I built a Russian localization for Reasonix Studio. The project has since grown into a reusable BCP 47 language-pack toolchain.

Russian pack

• 5,201 interface strings; «Русский» appears in Settings → Language.
• Native Electron surfaces: startup page, context menu, error dialogs, tray.
• PWA push notifications.
• Supported versions: 2.47.x–2.53.x, tested on 2.53.1.
• Canonical locale is ru-RU; ru remains an alias for backward compatibility.
• locale/ru-RU.json is the canonical dictionary; languages/ru-RU.json is the profile.

Install

1. Download the latest release: https://github.com/itsbuyru-bit/Reasonix-RU-Localization/releases/latest
2. Quit Reasonix Studio completely, including the tray icon.
3. Run LOCALIZE-RU.bat or LOCALIZE.bat --lang ru-RU. If Studio is installed under C:\Program Files, run it as administrator.
4. Start Studio → Settings → Language → Русский.

The menu checks that Studio is closed before applying. The patcher keeps versioned backups and supports rollback.

Reusable language packs (new)

• languages/_template.json and locale/_template.json provide a Chinese → English template with 5,201 keys.
• A new locale is a profile plus a dictionary: languages/de-DE.json and locale/de-DE.json. No Python code changes are required.
• build_native_patches.py converts the profile’s native fields into Electron patch blocks.
• translate_api.py, merge_parts.py, validate_language_pack.py and verify_web.py accept --lang.
• If multiple packs are installed, the menu asks which one to use; --lang de-DE skips the prompt.
• The same approach works for de-DE, pt-BR, ja-JP, es-ES, ko-KR, fr-FR and other BCP 47 locales. en and zh are built into Reasonix and are not patched.
• Full guide: https://github.com/itsbuyru-bit/Reasonix-RU-Localization/blob/main/docs/ADDING-A-LANGUAGE.md

Validation and contribution

• 41 unit tests plus validate_language_pack.py and check_docs.py.
• PRs run the Tests (Windows) CI check; branch protection requires it. A maintainer may add the automerge label after review; it never bypasses CI or branch protection.
• AI contributors can load the project skill: .agents/skills/reasonix-localization/SKILL.md. Installation for Reasonix and other AI agents: https://github.com/itsbuyru-bit/Reasonix-RU-Localization/blob/main/docs/USING-THE-SKILL.md

Notes

• Unofficial community project; not affiliated with or endorsed by Reasonix.
• No Reasonix source code, bundles, or binaries are redistributed; only the local installation is patched.
• MIT license. The approach is based on Reasonix-Traduction-Fr (MIT); credit is preserved.
• Feedback and translation corrections are welcome via GitHub Issues.

По-русски: это неофициальная русская локализация Reasonix Studio 2.47.x–2.53.x, которая теперь поддерживает и другие языки через BCP 47-пакеты. Переведены 5 201 строка интерфейса, нативные строки Electron и push-уведомления. Канонический код — ru-RU, ru остаётся алиасом. Новый язык — это languages/<code>.json + locale/<code>.json; Python-код менять не нужно. Если установлено несколько пакетов, меню спросит, какой использовать. Инструкция: https://github.com/itsbuyru-bit/Reasonix-RU-Localization/blob/main/docs/ADDING-A-LANGUAGE.md. Для ИИ-контрибьюторов есть скилл .agents/skills/reasonix-localization/SKILL.md и инструкция по установке: https://github.com/itsbuyru-bit/Reasonix-RU-Localization/blob/main/docs/USING-THE-SKILL.md. Перед установкой полностью закройте Studio; в C:\Program Files запускайте от имени администратора.
